Maybe they will, maybe they won't. If its a long thread, I frequently read the op and then skip to the end. I would hate to think anyone would make the choice to circ or not based off a thread on a web forum, but sadly that is sometimes not the case.

If you'd like a "period" statement, how about this one? Circing or leaving intact is a choice that is left up to parents in the United states, and BOTH choices are valid. Period.

I clearly said hopefully it would spark curiosity and they would "further research".

And legal or not, its not ethically right to cut off part of someone's penis without their permission.

I'm not arguing. I'm just stating that it is legally a parent's choice. So you can whine about how wrong it is until you turned blue in the face, but that's the current law. You can fight to have them changed. But I don't think it's right to put down another individual for making a legal decision that happens to be different than your own.

I know why people on this board believe circing became popular in America. I've never heard it outside of here and personally think it probably carried over from religious beginnings. But that's neither here nor there.

If you're going to talk about adjusting the laws so that everyone has rights, I think the one to start with would be abortion. That's not merely skin, that's a whole individual killed.

Good for Wikipedia. I can't say I care what that says. It may have became more popular because of that. But I still believe that many people were still doing it from its religious beginnings. But again, that's neither here nor there.

Omg.lol
Yeah, ok. Because we practice different religion here in the US. That's why we have some of the highest circ rates. Christians in Europe don't circ, how do you explain that?
If it roots from religion, that is...

Circ in the US is cultural. Its done by doctors not religious leaders. Peolle do it because "that's what you do to boys". I'm first generation American. No males in my family were till the ones birn here. My uncles wife told him they needed to and that's what americans do. No religion involved. He let his boys be circed. He now regrets it very much.

I'm mobile.... sorry for the typos!

:Thumbsup: I can choose to personally believe that the sky is orange and that cats moo but that doesn't mean it's true. Science and history don't lie whether you choose to believe them or not.

Science "lies" frequently. It once said the earth was flat. It also says we came basically from nothing, and with no reason, but there are many gaps in its stance. Some science is good, some is laughable.
